I love how Hannibal’s demand that Will ask him ‘pretty please’ isn’t a power grab or a show of authority, but its something thats petty because Will left him hanging and ill-footed in their previous interaction. So Will goes to him, says “I need you Hannibal” and tells him, “please” in a tone and with a look that really says “there, I said it.” Then we get Hannibal’s indulgent smile. It’s a joke!!! They’re fucking around!! Everybody’s serious about catching the dragon, gravely discussing how they can play this with Hannibal in the game, and these two have their own little impish, petty, inside joke going on. It’s like “Hey omg godzilla resurfaced we need to evacuate!!!” And in the background there’s Hannibal asking out Will and Will’s twirling his hair behind the library desk pretending to consider.
